Dealing with quad tightness Springer (oblique) underwent an MRI after he felt tightness in his right quad while running the bases Tuesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Springer appeared to be trending toward a return after he began the season on the injured list due to a left oblique strain. However, his setback will prevent him from being activated when he's first eligible Thursday. The results of Springer's MRI aren't yet known, but a better timetable for his return could be revealed once the team gathers more information.

Opinion | It pains George Springer to sit and watch the Blue Jays, but he like what he sees and hears “It’s impressive, the way they talk about the game, the way they understand the game,” the injured outfielder says of his young teammates.

Blue Jays' George Springer to start season on IL with oblique strain The Blue Jays will open the season without George Springer after he strained his oblique last week
MARCH 31, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Heading to 10-day IL Springer (oblique) will begin the season on the 10-day injured list, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.
Impact Springer dealt with a Grade 2 hamstring strain late in camp and has been progressing well, but he'll be sidelined for at least the first six games of the regular season while he recovers. Randal Grichuk and Jonathan Davis should see additional time in center field while Springer is unavailable. Springer's placement on the injured list is retroactive to March 29, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return right away when he's first eligible to play April 8.

Opening Day in doubt Springer is progressing well from his Grade 2 oblique strain, but his readiness for Opening Day remains in doubt, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Springer was diagnosed with the strain just one week ago. Grade 2 strains typically take several weeks to recover from, so the fact that he's even in contention for Opening Day is a positive sign. The Blue Jays won't make a decision on whether to send him to the injured list until the last minute. It's possible he's ruled out for a few games but remains on the active roster. Randal Grichuk should fill in for him in center field if he's forced to miss time.

Undergoes follow-up MRI Springer (oblique) underwent a follow-up MRI on Monday and remains day-to-day, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Springer was diagnosed with a Grade 2 left oblique strain on Tuesday, an injury which typically takes several weeks to recover from. The Blue Jays have remained optimistic that he could still make the Opening Day roster nonetheless, though whether or not that's overly optimistic should become clearer once the results of his MRI are known.

Takes swings off tee Manager Charlie Montoyo said Springer (oblique) remains day-to-day after hitting off a tee Sunday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact While Montoyo noted that Springer avoided any setbacks during the hitting workout, how the 31-year-old's left oblique strain responds to baserunning and outfield drills will provide a better gauge of his health heading into Opening Day. The Blue Jays have already informed Jonathan Davis that he would break camp with the club as a fifth outfielder, perhaps signaling that Springer may be relegated to designated-hitter duties if he's able to avoid a stint on the injured list to begin the season.
